Mike Rowe: Finding Your Identity Outside Your Work (FULL TEACHING) | Praise on TBN

This is the man we need running the country.

Mike never had kids but he is a father figure to all of us who love him.

I was in my early 40’s, finished my masters from a private university, was sitting in traffic to my corporate job, listening to Mike Rowe’s book and it influenced me to quit my job, go to welding school, and now I’m back in operations wearing a reflective vest everyday surrounded by hard working, not pretentious people.

A very wise woman once said, "If a job needs to be done it's an important job."

All young men in America 🇺🇸 need a mentor like Mike Rowe. He makes me feel powerful and capable of my own abilities

I went to college prep, I went to 4 year college, then I went to 2 years in University for my Masters in Particle Physics. I was offered all kinds of jobs with paychecks i never could have imagined possible. I did it and did well…but NOW finally I’m happy! I retired early and bought a sheep farm! I grow hay, I raise rabbits and produce eggs (technically it’s the chickens that produce the eggs…I eat them). I work harder to move 20 tons of poop every year than I ever worked before and I LOVE IT!

If you ask me, Mike Rowe is one of the most intelligent people out there! Just goes to show that intelligence isn't about goofing off in a college or cubicle. It's about endless curiosity, eagerness to learn, and willingness to dig in there and get your hands dirty.

Mike Rowe tells the truth. My Dad had his own Auto and Truck Repair Shop in the mid 1950's to the mid 1970's. That's where I learned a trade. I tried other careers, but came back to Automotive and worked in that trade from 1987 to 2016. With my Dad in the 50's and 60's I learned a LOT! That training plus 2 years in a Tech School gave me the basic knowledge to start in 1987 through 2016 to not only be able to do that job, but to keep learning as time went on with new technology. They called it a job, but for me it's what I like to do! I've been retired since 2016 at age 67, but I still have the 3 vehicles at home, occasionally my daughter's SUV and occasionally a neighbor's vehicle. Thank you Mike Rowe for this video!

Grew up in the 50-60s. My father was a carpenter, the man up the steet was a plumber. The man next door worked for Fords. Men identified themselves by the careers. And they not only acceptrd that, they pretty much created it. I myself find nothing wrong in this.

Mike Rowe for president. Lets get our workforce on track . Work smart and hard. Thank you.

Mike Rowe for President! USA! USA! USA!

My respect for Mike has exponentially grown over the last 15 years. Watching him do dirty jobs just for entertainment slowly but steadily inspiring people not necessarily to do dirty jobs, but to respect hard work and enjoy doing it. To me, Mike has grown from a funny guy on TV, to someone who could potentially be one of the best presidents ever. He’s smart, he fits in with all crowds and most importantly he’s an advocate of how to do things differently to how stuff is going nowadays.

Thanks again Mike! You're awesome! Said the gardener/roofer/caretaker/carpenter/plumber/hunter/gatherer/dad.

I went to shop classes they where the only classes i liked, i didnt know what i wanted to do but i found i liked fixing and building it made me feel like i had value and no one could say you cant do that i sure can. Im not a desk or computer guy and never could be.thankyou sir ! I worked 44 yrs in a lamp factory.

Thank you Mike, every parent needs to hear what you have to say.

I quit my 15 year corporate job to work for myself and start my own lighting company. I design / install and look forward to each and every day ❤

Dropped out of college, started unloading trucks with a forklift at a machine shop for 10 an hour. Now I’m in charge of running 4 giant 5 axis mills and get paid 40 bucks and hour with overtime always. I truly enjoy my job and making aerospace parts. So happy I dropped out I was miserable in college. Ps all this happened over ten years and I had absolutely zero machining experience. Hard work wins

I couldn't agree with Mike more! I am almost his age, went to college but ended up being a carpenter. I LOVED my work! The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment was amazing, not to mention it's honest work. The country needs skilled craftsmen!

The fact that Rowe can sit for an hour here and with Theo Vaughn and be just as captivating and audience appropriate for both is really remarkable. Mr. Rowe is a national treasure.

These are the things that make for happiness. 1. Honesty. 2. Keeping your word. 3. Being kind. 4. Being debt free. 5. Finding a job you can do and learn to do well. 6. Being open to love others more than yourself.
